Fuel filter was garbage

	Hi all. Quick Ford truck question here - yes, I've posted in alt.ford but this can't hurt, many of you here are quite knowledgeable. Okay, my 1980 351M Bronco runs like a dream. Until recently. It started running like crap so a little work later it was discovered that there was a small pinhead-sized rock stuck in the needle and seat config. Well, now it runs great. My question is, how the hell did a pinhead-sized rock get past my (10-day old) fuel filter?!?! holy! So I thought, if one filter is good, but not good enough, two would be better right? From the fuel line to the carb is about one foot of rubber hose. I could easily add another filter there. Should I? I mean, it's $5. But will it help??!?!? And yes, I drive in dusty conditions - where the Bronco thrives! Thanks all. Brad PS: Trolls, don't waste your time.

	Nothing thrives in dusty conditions... there's nothing special about a Bronco. For dirt to get downstream from a filter, one has to wonder about housekeeping.... Dirt is the enemy of any machine and we need to be absolutely sure that we aren't introducing it during service operations.

Best 4WD EVER made! Anyway, I do agree with you. I was thinking the same thing: somehow that pebble got in there when I replaced the fuel filter. As you seconded this idea, I guess I'll have to be more careful when doing maintenance. Thanks for the input. Brad

	That was pretty much my thought on the matter too. I would think that two filters would be asking for trouble though. Something about it seems a little wrong, like something could go bad on one and not the other and give you fits diagnosing or something, maybe they could both become a little clogged and create a restriction that you might have trouble tracking down.. andyway, just a dumb blonde's perspective. I would think that one good quality filter should be adequate.

	Did you consider it MIGHT have gotten in via AIR, not fuel? And you Might consider using the Ford EFI filter. Brad and Mia wrote:> Hi all.

I have a 90 Stang incidentally. It's a big honking thing, compared to the tiny little 80 Bronco one. If it'll fit and you think it might do some good... okay... Thanks. Brad

Also, the EFI filter assumes pressure pushing throught it, not pulling. Do these make a difference? I would be inclined to guess so.
